MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 6.5 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 6.5 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,871 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,871 m of the 3,160 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 09 at HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,140 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 86 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 5 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of HTKJ Kilimanjaro International Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 3,956 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 30,938 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,982 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 26 miles south of Same in the Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 20 miles southwest of Muheza in the Tanga Region, Tanzania. The descent was from a maximum altitude of 30,886 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 1,807 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,080 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 44.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,609 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 3,160 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -178 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 136 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 14 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,796 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 252 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,316 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 44.0° at an altitude of 1,609 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the good threshold height and threshold speed of 146 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 136 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than ideal, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply a bit more braking to bring the aircraft to a stop. The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was still within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's descent and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a gentle wind of 9 knots at 14°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The total landing distance of 1,796 meters was 57% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and landing.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, showcasing the skills and expertise of the pilots and the capabilities of the Boeing 777-300 aircraft.
